Scienza dei Materiali per Ingegneria (2a ed.)
About the Course
The course is divided into four sections.Section 1: Fundamentals of materials science. The section deals with matter structure at a microscopic level (chemical bonding, crystal lattices, defects and diffusion) and its correlation with macroscopic materials properties (mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc.).
Section 2: Metallurgy. The section deals with Iron-Carbon phase diagram, steel classification (according to European standard) and the main heat treatments for Iron-based alloys.
Section 3: Polymeric materials. The section deals with molecular structure of polymers and their classifications in i) thermoplastics and thermosets and ii) amorphous and semi-crystalline. The thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of polymers are also described.
Section 4: Ceramic materials. In this section the main ceramic materials and their properties are classified. The production processes are described, starting from the raw materials. Finally, the main traditional and innovative ceramics are described.
